Best Wrestling School Springfield Near Me

Noah Farrales: I was introduced to this program by a friend of mine a long time ago. While we were at Drury University training before our season started, he pointed at the stands and said “you see that guy right there? You should train with him because he will make you a better wrestler and athlete. I guarantee you that.” The man up in the stands was no other than Coach Roy Koyama himself. He greeted me with kind, love, and tremendous hardcore training I must say, it helped a lot my junior and senior year. I would definitely recommend anyone at any level of athleticism, because he will push you to become successful not just on the mats, but later in life.“Hard-work beats talent, while talent doesn’t work hard.”He also helped me reached out to multiple college coaches. Not only got my name known, but four former HPWA wrestlers got recognize by their talents. The point is that he got connections now.

Wendy Riley-Washington: Undoubtedly, the best wrestling faculty I’ve ever been to. From nutrition plan to mindset strengthening, the coaches go above and beyond to help each individual wrestler to meet their own needs to achieve great success. They treat everyone like family and welcome anyone with open arms. The growth people have experienced here is unimaginable and unmatched to any other organization. If your in Springfield, I highly recommend you come check it out! You wouldn’t want to miss out on this phenomenal opportunity!

Paul Ebisch: HPWA has been a great source of development for my son’s wrestling skills and growth. He has made great friendships and grown as a leader. Coach Roy works his hard to help the kids all the time.

Colman Ebisch: Great wrestling club for all ages and athletes. It had gave me to compete and train at a much higher level

Rhys Koyama: I’ve seen the birth of this program and the amount it’s changed is insane. It’s grew so much and changed lives. I’m glad to say that I’ve been here since the beginning. Highly recommend this club for Wrestlers or people who want to get into wrestling.

Jaxon Glenn: Best place ever. It changed my life.

Micah Ragsdale: Bulldogs Wrestling Club has the right facilities and coaching staff to help wrestlers become successful in the sport. Coach Pyck has put together an amazing club.

A N0RMAL: Absolutely amazing!!!

Payton Lackman: The bulldogs wrestling club has phenomenal facilities. The access to the proper equipment needed to excel in the sport of wrestling is unparalleled by any surrounding school. Not to mention, it is led by Coach Brian Pyck who has years of professional coaching experience. Pyck and the youth club staff are exceptional coaches with the ability to help your student athlete succeed in the sport of wrestling.

Brian Hom: The Central Bulldogs Youth Wrestling program is a positive, fun learning environment for both beginners and more advanced wrestlers. A unique combination of skilled and parent coaching allows kids of all ages to progress to their highest potential. Whether your child needs a basic recreational form of exercise, or you’re seeking intensive training for Middle School competitors at the State level — this Club provides something for everyone!

Jessey Mook: I have really enjoyed training here at SFC. Having class at 5am has been super helpful getting in training time before work every day. Great place and great people.

Mars: Great place to train, get in shape, and meet like minded individuals.

Micah Young: I joined fight club just to get a good workout in. Quickly I realized the positive impact it was making on my physically & mentally. I found a new confidence in myself that has translated on & off the mat! The coaches & students are so welcoming & make the gym feel like a second home. You won’t regret joining the SFC family 👊🏻

Jesse Owsley: Springfield Fight Club (SFC) is absolutely top notch and I recommend unreservedly to my friends and anyone who trains martial arts. The coaches are outstandingly good, and the atmosphere is supportive and challenging. I've been training here for a year and a half and plan to continue indefinitely.

Ryan Culbertson-Faegre: This is my favorite place in the world. Great vibes, instant martial art nerd friends, and great instruction from coaches who follow modern Jiu-Jitsu and MMA.They offer a free trial week for new students, and Sunday open mats are always free and open to the public. Come try it out!

1Time: I’ve been going to SFC for a handful of months now. Not only do I see many of the same faces from class to class, I see those same faces helping new faces learn fundamentals. SFC is such a welcoming home for those who are either looking to train professionally or to simply have an outlet in life. This will be the place to be for years to come. Come make some new friends and learn a thing or two about self defense!

Nick Johnson: This place is special. I’ve been to many academy’s or MMA gyms in general all over the country and this is a top notch school. All of the instructors are amazing and back it up with incredible skills to match their philosophies. They know how to structure their classes and sparring in general so minimal injures happen. Ton of positive energy and hard work will be had in this place. Recommend to any age, weight, size, or experience level!

Grant Zykan: Been a student at SFC for a year. Every coach cares about every student, and their improvement. The gym is full of great people who are family. For self defense, exercise, or fighting, Springfield Fight Club is the best in the 417.

Trey Brewer: Not one bad roll. Great people

Darth Wang: Nice guys, well. For fighters lol you will have fun here!

Andrea A: I've been a student at SFC for 3 years now. They're experienced, professional, fun, and very good at teaching. They have a ton of class times and several qualified coaches. The professors are well versed, but know how to make it graspable for beginners. The amount of coaches there allows people at all levels to get one on one details of what is being taught. I highly recommend Springfield Fight Club for the competitor, families, someone just looking for a cool hobby, and people who just want to come to work on their fitness. SFC has something for everyone.

Chelsey Gardner: So I'm am completely new to the world of jujitsu and kickboxing, but the staff was super helpful and more than willing to work with you. They were very patient and willing to show me things as many times as I needed. Everyone in the class was super encouraging and friendly! By the time I left I had the impression that everyone in that building just wants to help you be the best you possible. I can't wait to go back tonight!

Sherrie Birkinbine: As a female with no martial arts background, I felt immediately welcomed. Those who train here have varying levels of motivation: MMA/BJJ enthusiasts, trained fighters, or just learning self defense with a great kickboxing workout. Everyone is very respectful and the community dynamic is really quite moving. The coaches have a heart to help everyone at each level.

Nate Peters: I’ve been training with SFC since 2009 and can say that it truly is an incredible place! It has a great atmosphere that is welcoming to beginners and seasoned practitioners alike. There’s a great sense of community and it doesn’t take long for people new to the gym to feel like they belong to something! I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to train in martial arts whether it be for fitness, self-defense or competitive purposes!

Breno Viani: Best place in town to train brazilian jiu jitsu! I looked into other gyms before coming to SFC, and after training there I felt at home. They are one big family. I have been training there for over a year now and hate it when I miss one day of training.

James Lowery: Great place to train!! Coaches are very knowledgeable and helpful regardless of experience level. I made the choice to try it 2.5 years ago and it has been a great choice!

Michael Miller: This is hands down, the best place to train in southwest Missouri. Top notch instruction and great people. You’ll feel welcome from the moment you walk in. Very professional facility with a variety of classes and class times to fit your needs! If you want to get in shape, be part of a big family, and learn to defend yourself, give Springfield Fight Club a try!

Nicolas Wilson: Great place to get into shape and learn self-defense. I was nervous coming here at first but the coaches and other people are easy to get along with and made the process pretty painless. It is a challenging and rewarding environment. I have had a couple of minor injuries that were outside the gym and haven't been super consistent but the payment process has worked around my situation. I recommend you take the first class and see if you enjoy it.

T.J. Morgan: The name of the gym might be off putting to the conservative type, or maybe invigorating to the aggressive, but take note: this place is quite special! From my experience here, everyone welcomes new folks and encourages them in their individual journeys into the combative world. Spend your time and money here...oh, and bring the kids too!

Wesley Biddinger: Is it american top team?

Amber Galindo: My daughter has been going here for the past three years and has no desire to quit. Thanks to the wonderful people here, she now has a “go get ‘em” mentality, looks forward to every challenge, and she aspires to be a sansei of her own school some day. I love the leadership they are teaching her and the confidence she continues to build. Her younger brother even had his birthday party here, and it was a ton of fun! Highly recommend it here!

Chloe F. Baby: Great place to build character and self esteem!

debra buckner: My Grandson attended this schools 4 years ago when it was k 5.0 academy of martial arts . The first 2 years were good then it just went down hill I put alot of money and my grandson put alot of hard work and years into this school which basically turned into a preschool ,he was constantly held back or test put off because of the ones who didnt practice.after struggling the last year over what to do as my grandson was starting to lose his passion and being kept stagment we decided to take a loss of those years and try find another dojo.when I informed Mr.Lane he started accusing me of taking bribes from other instructors to leave it was very disturbing. I told my grandson if he started getting angry to film it as I had witnessed his temper before he had lost his temper before in front of kids and parents before .I started questioning him being a role model. when he saw he was being recorded he cussed at us told us to leave and never step foot on his property again. That was uncalled for and as a martial artist he should have wished Seth well with his future.I can only hope Thrive is better than he ran k 5.0 but I saw a old review that is still up of mine and want everyone to know it was old review and not meant for his new Thrive Martial arts as I cant give a review for a place I've never attended.

Avante Frasier: While we did go to K5, we never attended their new business called Thrive, so the review from past is not accurate. the first year of K5 was great, however, the morals and policy kept changing constantly to accommodate a few parents that wanted their kids to belt up even when they did not practice like others or learn the material. Parents complained, all kids gets to belt up, regardless. Not fair to the few that really studied and practiced.. when the instructor loses the will and passion to be there and teach, the students no longer want to attend or care either. The best thing about K5 in the end, the few friendships we made and bonds some of our kids formed. Not too mention being pushed to buy the Nary Kay products and always nickel and diming you for everything. We also did not like the required missions that were started after we had been already going there. The kids spent too much time doing homework and chores and not enough Kenpo. We paid for them to learn the Kenpo not “how to be polite and do chores” some of us already have children that are well behaved and disciplined, I did not need to pay $179 Monthly to spend 6-8 hrs of physical writing homework when he had 4-5 daily from school. It took the fun and interest away from them. Hopefully with the new business they have learned but from the looks of this. I don’t think so. We were also supposed to have a great elite 10person bushido team, parents and other students got offended so we kept being charged monthly for the group we were chosen for, but learned absolutely nothing. Lots of promises made to our kids, but none kept. One of the required missions was to give a 5* start review, required for belt testing. Very disappointed in the end.

Jennifer Heinrichs: My kids absolutely loved it. $42 for 2 weeks, 1 time a week, up to 15 to 45 minutes. Kids earned karate outfits and boards after second time, they are so proud of themselves.. but I truly wish we would afford $ for 3 children to keep going but the problem is contract for 12 month and $407 a month for THREE kids with family discount. That stopped everything for us... I love those people, they are absolutely amazing people. Truly wish it's affordable place just like YMCA.

Jeff Jones: Fantastic! Kenpo 5.0 is a great system and very practical. The instructor and staff are very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the martial arts.

Michelle Bowers: LOVE the people had a blast in the class and well worth the 2 1/2 hour drive. Very willing to work with you even if you live quite a distance so you can still take classes.

Brooklynn Roberts: This was one of my favorite places I loved it and wish I didn't quit

Vince “CannaPLUS” Galindo: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueMy daughter is a student here and she absolutely loves it. The Lanes are phenomenal people and they really are an extended family to us. My daughter is always excited about going to classes, she has fun, and her confidence is building every single day. My only regret is that we did not sign her up here sooner.

Jonathan Evans: Love the place my youngest boy start there from a group on and love it so much he has stayed with it and the instructor are very caring and respectful and highly trained in martial arts

Adam Boster: High quality instruction here at this long standing icon of professionalism! As a black belt I highly recommend learning from the leaders at this amazing school. The presence and sense of family in the middle of a motivating, disciplined environment makes this place a hidden gem. Be ready to learn some serious street smart skills here!!

Chris Westmoreland: Kiedis: "I love this place and Mr. Lane, Mrs. Lane and Miss Lydia are amazing. Mr. Lane is Oh Captain, my Captain!"This place has been a real blessing for my 5 year old. He loves it very much. One year ago he was shy and timid, but now he's got confidence and a no-quit attitude. I'm so very proud of the things he's done here and looking forward to the things ahead.

Travis Bradbury: Outstanding instructors and a very welcoming community.

Christina Pritchett: We have been apart of K5 for over a year now. My kiddo went from being afraid of riding the bus (due to bullies) to being confident enough TO ride the bus. Not only is his confidence growing but so is his self control! He has gained so much from the staff at K5! Every one of the staff memebers truly care about the kiddos and their families. They take the time to be invested in their lives. No matter what’s going on. I won’t take him anywhere else.

Beverly Tyler: The owners Mr and Mrs Lane take their job very seriously they go above and beyond for the children during a good safe place with constructive discipline

Melissa Vdl: We loved our experience at K5 Academy of Martial Arts on Sunshine. The Lane family is super kind, committed to their students' growth and success, awesome at training kids in respect and proper self-defense while NOT advocating fighting whatsoever. We didn't stay beyond the six-week promotion, but I would absolutely consider this being a regular part of my boys' education in the future. Highly recommended.

Xiaoning Hu: My son Jaden loves Mr. Lane, he’s the best in town. Absolutely amazing place and staff for kids!!

Emily Payne: A perfect mix of fun and discipline! My son has gained more than just knowledge of kenpo, he now has a strong male role model and confidence about handling real-life situations. Mr Lane's goals for the kids are attainable and achievements are highly celebrated. We consider the Lane's a part of our family!

Stacey Powell: Micah was 4 and Mr Lane's first student. He is now 9 and an Advanced Blue Belt. I am very thankful for all Mr Lane has done. Micah and Mr Lane have a special bond.

Edmond Carpio: What an incredible local business. Attended the adult Gi and No Gi classes at night during the week. This place is amazing and in a few classes they had my confidence way up. The professor (Trey Carter) does a great job breaking down techniques and making people feel comfortable with Jiu Jitsu in general. Ozark and the surrounding areas need to check this place out. As soon as my daughter is old enough, I am going to bring her to try it out. MORE NOTES: The other coaches that help during practice (Adisen, Kolby, and Ethan) are very good at helping you pace your techniques to learn properly during practice. This BJJ Academy does compete and often if you are interested in that route. Another plus, modern technology, your account and any purchases are handled through an easy to use smartphone app. I recommend their trial to anyone even slightly curious about Jiu Jitsu.

John Garcia: Great atmosphere!! VERY!! Welcoming place!!! I was looking for a place where I can’t just be myself and let loose.. I can confidently say that Dynasty Jiu Jitsu is my HOME GYM!! Thanks Guys!!

Kolbie Tafoya: Top notch gym. Trey is a high level black belt under world champ Caio Terra. His curriculum is highly skilled and will improve your Jiu Jitsu. Beyond that, his gym has a great culture and they maintain professionalism. Highly recommended for new students or experienced individuals.

Intuitive Angling With Randy Blaukat: Trey is a world-class instructor. Always a great learning experience.

Cory Mckee: My wife and I were looking to get our son into bjj a little over a year ago. We went to 4 different gyms in the Nixa and Ozark area. Dynasty was the last one we attended. We noticed early that professor Trey is very passionate about jiu jitsu and about working with his students. After the first class our son had easily made up his mind, and so far it has proven to be exactly the right choice.

Reagan Frakes: I've been with Dynasty about 6 months and the experience has been fantastic. Trey and his senior students are great teachers and they do an awesome job making the gym a fun and safe environment for everyone, while encouraging friendly competition. A major plus is there are fundamentals classes 5 nights a week!

Brooke McKee: My 12 year old starting jiu jitsu to stay in shape for other sports. He tried 4 different gyms in the area and felt that the coaches, number of students, class organization, and overall atmosphere was the best here at Dynasty. Since he joined he has began competing and has made jiu jitsu his primary sport. The coaches dedication to the students learning, progression, and enjoyment in the classes create a family like atmosphere that makes everyone feel welcome. 100% recommend for all ages.

129punisher777: One of the best places I’ve ever trained. Everything is exceptional.

Mathew Stephenson: We started our son to get some energy out and so he can learn to protect himself. It's a fantastic place and they are great with kids.

Kelly Matney: Great place to learn bjj. Trey and his staff do an excellent job making the lesson fun and enjoyable for kids. He’s a gifted teacher and you can tell how passionate he is working with everyone. I cannot recommend this more for anyone interested in trying out bjj for the first time.

SSC Weightlifting: Dynasty has been a home away from home for me and my wife. The community is so incredibly welcoming and I have met people that I’ll call friends for the rest of my life. Professor Trey is one of the most genuine individuals to be around and has the great ability to teach one move/skill/principle in many different ways to ensure everyone has a thorough understanding. Unless I move 100+ miles away I will never train at another gym!!

Laura Patterson: my son Tyler has been going a few months now and the difference I see in his confidence and technique is outstanding. I can't say enough good things about the instructors and their ability to engage young people.

David Cummings: Positive:QualityTrey is a great coach, he pays close attention to the strengths and weaknesses of each student and helps each one to be their best.

Adisen Torres: Amazing gym, amazing culture, best place I’ve ever trained at hands down! Coach Trey is a phenomenal coach, along with incredible teammates!

Ryan Duey: We love Dynasty Jiu jitsu! Coach Trey and the other coaches are amazing. You can tell they love the kids and are passionate about what they do. Highly recommend!

Jackie P: The coaches at Dynasty Jiu Jitsu are amazing with the kids. I love that I can sit on the sidelines during the whole class and watch the kids. I would highly recommend this place.

Sam K.: I highly recommend Dynasty Jiu Jitsu! We got roped in when they had a free day to try it out thinking it sounded like a fun thing to do not knowing it would end up being something my children really enjoy!My kids love learning new moves and skills, socialization and making new friends. I love the family feel...it just feels super close knit and that my kids are being active. All the coaches are super patient with the kids (and trust me I got one who who definitely tests it) and seem passionate about teaching Jiu-jitsu. I even find it so interesting to watch my kids being taught that sometimes I feel like signing myself up!I wouldn't hesitate recommending the whole family to sign up here!

Matt McGuire: Dynasty jiu jitsu is an awesome place for anyone who wants to get into jiu jitsu and for people who are looking to refine already established skill sets, constantly being pushed outside of your comfort zone and being pushed along by a great professor like Trey. The facilities are clean and they have so much respect for the space. Super friendly people to train with. It’s always laughs and smiles while getting your arms and legs ripped off check it out!!

Emma Snyder: Felt vary welcomed, great family environment! Super positive and clean as well!

Zach Shaw: A great, welcoming place with a fun atmosphere! These folks train hard and it shows. You’ll get a great workout in, learn some great jiu jitsu knowledge and be happy you showed up!
